One of the better looking facades of the Mahboob Mansion. I was totally appalled to see the fate of an occasional residence of a Nizam. The ruins, the garbage strewn around, the litter, the encroachments surrounding, it is impossible to see this restored, by any stretch of one’s imagination. More images to come in the next few days.

Mahboob Mansion is a palace, named after Mahbub Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI, the VIth Nizam who lived here occasionally, though his permanent residence was the Purani Haveli. It is located in the Malakpet district of Hyderabad.

Rosalina, in this case it is not really the govt’s fault. It was a privately owned by the Nizam and sold – nevertheless it is priceless heritage and needs to be preserved. It was quite unbelievable that a Nizam’s residence would see such a fate!

Thanks Lakshmi I know its not their(govt’s) fault but never the less cant we take some precautionary measures to save such Mansions, There is so much to see in Hyderabad.Residency needs repair too.Thankful that the Mahalaqa Bai Chanda tomb was done up.
